I'm getting real tired of seeing jokes from Americans about invading Canada (not specifically on fedi - just in general). I'm even seeing them occasionally from my progressive friends.

This shit isn't funny y'all - the US can invade what ever country it wants to with zero consequences! And HAS, multiple times in my lifetime alone! Fascists love to float a "joke" and see what the reaction is before committing to it - this is textbook shit! Like, I get making jokes to deal with The Horrors, but lets not pretend the US invading a country for resources is some wild thing that would never happen!

Canadians joking about how the US isn't prepared to deal with Quebec is coping with the very real threat that we are Poland before WW2. It doesn't give Americans justification to joke about actually invading us.

And, also, we wouldn't be the 51st fucking state - we'd just be another territory that doesn't have representation or the right to vote.

Weird that I don't see a lot of Americans making jokes regarding Trump's comments/jokes about getting a 3rd term as president. That one hit too close to home eh?

When someone waving a gun around jokes about shooting you - that's a fucking threat.

@theynege That's exactly it - it's like joking that Greenland is going to invade the US. Absurd on its face - won't happen, can't happen, physically impossible. The US has one of the most powerful militaries on the planet.

Joking about the US invading here is basically like joking about Russia invading a neighbor - has actually happened, is actually still happening, isn't really a joke.

@shockwaver and one could argue it's worse here because Ukraine isn't ruled by bootlickers like we are.
